Form of Amended and Restated CEO Executive Severance Agreement



 EXHIBIT 10.9 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED 
 EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE
AGREEMENT 
 This Executive Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”), amended and restated as of
January 1, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), is between and among Navistar International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), its principal operating subsidiary, Navistar, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“NAVISTAR, INC.”), and Daniel C. Ustian (the “Executive”) (each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”). For purposes of this Agreement,
“NIC” shall mean the Company and all of its, direct or indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries, including, without limitation, NAVISTAR, INC., and “NAVISTAR, INC.” shall mean only Navistar, Inc., unless the context
clearly indicates the contrary. This Agreement shall not become effective prior to the execution of a written release agreement in a form acceptable to the Company and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A hereto and the
expiration (without revocation) of the revocation period applicable to such release (the “Initial Release”). 
 WITNESSETH 
 WHEREAS, NIC wishes to assure stability and continuity of its senior management and
recognizes that organizational changes, including a Change in Control of the Company or NAVISTAR, INC. as defined in paragraph 3 below, may occur, and that the possibility of such changes negatively affects or may negatively affect the retention of
senior management personnel of NIC, the decision-making and performance of such personnel with respect to such organizational changes, and the effectiveness of retention and incentive features or other elements of the executive compensation programs
of NIC; and 
 WHEREAS, the Executive desires to achieve a degree of certainty as to his rights to compensation and
benefits if his employment is terminated under certain conditions during the Agreement Period defined in paragraph 2 below. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, this Agreement is made to fulfill NIC’s objectives in a manner that serves the best interests of NIC and the Company’s stockholders by providing the Executive with certain separation payments and benefits in
the event of a “Termination” as defined in paragraph 4 below during the Agreement Period. Accordingly, the Company, NAVISTAR, INC., and the Executive mutually agree as follows: 
 1. Implementation of Agreement. 
 (a) This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date, as set forth above, and shall be the sole and exclusive agreement between the Parties hereto with regard to separation payments and
benefits provided by NIC to the Executive. All stock options, restricted stock, or such other equity-based compensation of the Company granted or awarded to the Executive shall be governed by the respective plans and agreements pursuant to which
they were granted or awarded. Except as provided in paragraph 5 below, any pension benefits, welfare benefits, or such other benefits due to the Executive upon his termination of employment shall be governed by the respective NIC-sponsored benefit
plans, programs, or policies pursuant to which they are accrued and/or provided. 







 (b) This Agreement is not an employment contract, and it does not alter the Executive’s
status as an at will employee of NIC. The Executive may terminate his employment with NIC at any time, and NIC retains the right to terminate the Executive’s employment without notice, at any time, for any reason. Rather, this Agreement solely
prescribes the terms and conditions under which separation payments and benefits shall be provided to the Executive in the event of a “Termination” as set forth in paragraph 4(a) or 4(b) below, as appropriate. 
 2. Agreement Period. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, the “Agreement Period” means the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (a) the Expiration Date (as defined below), or
(b) the date on which the Executive dies, becomes totally and permanently disabled, as determined in accordance with the applicable NIC-sponsored disability plan or program, or voluntarily elects to terminate employment or take retirement (for
any reason other than “Good Reason” or “Constructive Termination” within the meaning of paragraph 4(a) or 4(b), respectively), with such retirement being determined in accordance with the applicable NIC-sponsored retirement plan,
program, or policy. The term “Expiration Date” means the date that is the third anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, the Expiration Date shall be automatically extended annually for successive one-year
periods starting on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and on each subsequent anniversary of the Effective Date, without further action on the part of any Party hereto, unless the Company or NAVISTAR, INC. has, at least thirty
(30) days prior to the effective date of any such extension, notified the Executive in writing, that the Agreement shall not be so extended. If a Change in Control occurs during the Agreement Period, notwithstanding any other provision of this
paragraph 2, the date specified by clause (a) above shall be automatically extended to and shall not expire earlier than the date that occurs three (3) years after the date of such Change in Control. 
 3. Change in Control. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if (a) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Person”), including the regulations and other applicable authorities thereunder (the “Exchange Act”)), other than employee or retiree benefit plans or trusts sponsored or established by
the Company or its affiliates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) (“Affiliates”), is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) (“Beneficial Owner”), directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company) representing twenty five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the
Company’s then-outstanding securities, excluding any Person who becomes such a Beneficial Owner in connection with a transaction described in paragraph 3(d)(i) below, (b) the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute more
than three-fourths (3/4) of the number of directors then-serving on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”): individuals who constitute the Board as of the Effective Date and any new director (other than a director whose
initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including, but not limited to, a consent solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company) whose appointment or election by the Board or
nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by the vote of at least two-thirds

  

 2 








 
(2/3) of the directors then still in office or whose appointment, election, or nomination was previously so approved; (c) any complete dissolution or liquidation of the Company or
NAVISTAR, INC. or any sale or disposition of all or substantially all (more than fifty percent (50%)) of the assets of the Company (determined without regard to the sale or disposition of any or all of the assets of Navistar Financial
Corporation, or any successor thereto) or of NAVISTAR, INC. occurs; or (d) there is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation, other than (i) a
merger or consolidation immediately following which the individuals who comprise the Board immediately prior thereto constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the Company, the entity surviving such merger or consolidation or, if
the Company or the entity surviving such merger is then a subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof, or (ii) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no Person is or
becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities Beneficially Owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or its Affiliates) representing 25% or more of
the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities. For the avoidance of doubt, the sale or disposition of any or all of the assets or stock of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company (other than the sale or disposition
of all or substantially all of the assets of NAVISTAR, INC., as described above) shall not be deemed a Change in Control. 
 4. Termination. 
 (a) For purposes of this Agreement, subject to remaining provisions of this paragraph
4, a Termination under this paragraph 4(a) shall occur if, during the Agreement Period and either before the date on which a Change in Control occurs or more than 36 months after the date of the then-most recent Change in Control, (i) the
Executive’s employment is involuntarily terminated by NIC for any reason other than Cause or (ii) a Good Reason occurs and the Executive both provides notice to the Company or NAVISTAR, INC. of the existence of the Good Reason within ten
(10) days of its initial existence and, to the extent the Company or NAVISTAR, INC. either does not remedy such Good Reason within thirty (30) days of receiving such notice from the Executive of the initial existence of such Good Reason
(for purposes of this paragraph 4(a), the “Cure Period”) or notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of the Cure Period of its unwillingness to remedy such event or condition, terminates his employment with NIC within ten
(10) days after either the expiration of such Cure Period or such earlier date prior to the expiration of the Cure Period on which the Executive was so notified in writing, as the case may be. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good
Reason” means the occurrence, during the Agreement Period and either before the date on which a Change in Control occurs or more than 36 months after the date of the then-most recent Change in Control, of any of the following events or
conditions: (A) NIC reduces the Executive’s base salary by ten percent (10%) or more (either upon one reduction or during a series of reductions over a period of time); provided, that such reduction neither comprises a part of
a general reduction for the Executive’s then-current peers as a group (determined as of the date immediately before the date on which the Executive becomes subject to such material reduction) nor results from a deferral of the Executive’s
base salary, or (B) a demotion in position (including a decrease in organization level) resulting in the material diminution of the Executive’s authority (including, but not limited to, the budget over which the Executive retains
authority), duties, or responsibilities within NIC, or (C) the Executive ceases to serve as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board other than (1) to the extent required by applicable laws, rules of the stock exchange or other
relevant listing authority, or judicial or

  

 3 








 
administrative order or (2) in connection with the Executive’s retirement with his consent; except, in case of each of (A), (B) or (C), in connection with the involuntary
termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause. In the event of a Termination under this paragraph 4(a), the Executive shall be paid the separation payments and benefits set forth in paragraph 5(a) below. If the Executive’s
involuntary termination of employment is for Cause, no separation payments or benefits shall be due or owing by the Company or NAVISTAR, INC. under paragraph 5(a) below. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cause” means that the
reason for the Executive’s involuntary termination of employment was (I) willful misconduct involving an offense of a serious nature that is demonstrably and materially injurious to NIC, monetarily or otherwise, (II) conviction of, or
entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony as defined by the laws of the United States of America or by the laws of the State or other jurisdiction in which the Executive is so convicted, or (III) continued failure to substantially
perform required duties for NIC that is not cured by the Executive within fifteen (15) days after written demand to so perform by NIC (other than a failure due to physical or mental disability). In the event the Executive fails to cure under
paragraph 4(a)(III), the Executive shall not be deemed to have been involuntarily terminated for Cause unless and until the occurrence of the following two events: (x) the Executive has been given notice from the Board that identifies the
grounds for the proposed involuntary termination for Cause under paragraph 4(a)(III) and notifies the Executive that he, along with his legal counsel, shall have an opportunity to address the Board with respect to the alleged grounds for termination
at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose of determining whether the Executive engaged in the conduct described under paragraph 4(a)(III), such meeting to be held no earlier than fifteen (15) days after the Executive is given
such notice (unless the Executive consents to an earlier meeting), and (y) the Executive has been given a copy of the resolutions, duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the entire membership of the Board (excluding
the Executive) called and held for the purpose of finding that, in the opinion of the majority of the Board (excluding the Executive), the Executive was guilty of conduct set forth in paragraph 4(a)(III), that specify the grounds and evidence for
termination and indicate that the grounds for termination have not been cured within the specified time limits. For purposes of determining whether “Cause” exists, no act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s part will be deemed
“willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive’s act, or failure to act, was in the best interest of NIC. 
 (b) For purposes of this Agreement, subject to remaining provisions of this paragraph 4, a Termination under this paragraph 4(b) shall occur
if, during the Agreement Period and during the 36-month period immediately after the then-most recent Change in Control, (i) the Executive’s employment is involuntarily terminated by NIC for any reason other than Cause or (ii) a
Constructive Termination occurs and the Executive both provides notice to the Company or NAVISTAR, INC. of the existence of the Constructive Termination within ninety (90) days of its initial existence and, to the extent the Company or
NAVISTAR, INC. either does not remedy such Constructive Termination within thirty (30) days of receiving such notice from the Executive of the initial existence of such Constructive Termination (for purposes of this paragraph 4(b), the
“Cure Period”) or notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of the Cure Period of its unwillingness to remedy such event or condition, terminates his employment with NIC within ten (10) days after either the expiration
of such Cure Period or such earlier date prior to the expiration of the Cure Period on which the Executive was so notified in writing, as the case may be. For purposes of this Agreement, “Constructive Termination” means the

  

 4 








 
occurrence, during the Agreement Period and within the 36-month period immediately after the then-most recent Change in Control, of any of the following events or conditions: (A) a material
diminution in the Executive’s authority (including, but not limited to, the budget over which the Executive retains authority), duties, or responsibilities within NIC in effect immediately before such Change in Control (including, without
limitation, failure of the Executive to report directly to the Board (or the board of directors of an acquirer or successor), except in connection with the involuntary termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause; (B) NIC reduces
the Executive’s base salary or total incentive compensation opportunity (including annual and long-term incentive compensation) by ten percent (10%) or more (either upon one reduction or during a series of reductions over a period of time)
as compared to (x) with respect to base salary, the highest base salary in effect for the Executive during the six-month period immediately before such Change in Control, (y) with respect to annual incentive compensation opportunity, the
highest annual incentive compensation opportunity as in effect for the Executive in the six-month period immediately before such Change in Control and (z) with respect to long-term incentive compensation opportunity, the value of the most
recent long-term incentive award, determined on an annualized basis, before such Change in Control; (C) the action or inaction of any successor or assign hereto following such Change in Control that constitutes a material breach of this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, the failure of any such successor or assign to assume, and to perform under, this Agreement as contemplated in paragraph 14 below; (D) NIC requires the Executive to be based anywhere more than
forty-five (45) miles from the location of either the Executive’s office (if other than the Company’s headquarters) or the Company’s headquartered offices immediately before such Change in Control which relocation is adverse to
the Executive, except for required business travel to the extent substantially consistent with the business travel obligations that the Executive undertook on behalf of NIC immediately before such Change in Control; or (E) the Executive ceases
to serve as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board other than in connection with the Executive’s retirement with his consent. In the event of a Termination under this paragraph 4(b), the Executive shall be paid the separation
payments and benefits set forth in paragraph 5(b) below. If the Executive’s involuntary termination of employment is for Cause, no separation payments or benefits shall be due or owing by the Company or NAVISTAR, INC. under paragraph 5(b)
below. 
 (c) For purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
Executive’s employment shall be deemed to have terminated only if (i) the Executive is not, immediately after such event, employed by NIC, or any other person with whom the Executive’s legal employer would be considered a single
employer under Section 414(b) or 414(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury regulations and other applicable authorities thereunder (the “Code”) (collectively, the “Controlled Group”) and
(ii) to the extent (and only to the extent) that a “payment” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) provided to the Executive under this Agreement is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Executive shall not be
considered to have terminated employment with NIC for purposes of this Agreement until the Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. The termination of
the Executive’s employment by any member within the Controlled Group shall be deemed to be a termination by NIC for purposes of this Agreement if the conditions imposed by the first sentence of this paragraph 4(c) are met. 
  

 5 








 (d) For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment shall be deemed to have
been terminated after a Change in Control if (i) the termination occurs before a Change in Control (without regard to whether a Change in Control actually occurs) and the termination occurs at the request or direction of any person or group who
has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control or (ii) the termination occurs before a Change in Control (without regard to whether a Change in Control actually occurs) and the
termination is otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s employment shall be deemed to have been terminated after a Change in Control as a result of a Constructive
Termination if (A) the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment before a Change in Control (without regard to whether a Change in Control actually occurs) and the event or condition that constitutes a Constructive Termination occurs at
the request or direction of any person or group who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which would constitute a Change in Control or (B) the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment before a Change in
Control (without regard to whether a Change in Control actually occurs) and the event or condition that constitutes a Constructive Termination is otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control. 
 5. Separation Payments and Benefits. 
 (a) In the event of a Termination as defined in paragraph 4(a) above, the Executive shall receive (and the Company and NAVISTAR, INC. shall be jointly and severally obligated to provide to the Executive)
the following separation payments and benefits, the receipt of which (except for payments referenced in paragraphs 5(a)(ii)(E) and 5(a)(ii)(F) below) shall be conditioned on the execution by the Executive of a written release agreement in a form
acceptable to the Company and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Release”) within forty-five (45) days following the date of Termination (and non-revocation of the Release during the applicable
revocation period): 
 (i) An amount equal to three-hundred percent (300%) of the sum of the Executive’s annual base
salary in effect at the time of Termination and Target Annual Incentive (the “Severance Pay”). The Severance Pay shall be paid in a lump sum on the Payment Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Target Annual Incentive” means the
annual incentive amount that would have been payable to the Executive for the Company’s fiscal year in which the Termination occurred under the applicable NIC-sponsored annual incentive or bonus plan(s), program(s), or policy(ies), including,
but not limited to, the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan, assuming the “targeted” level of performance required for payment of such annual incentive or bonus was achieved for such fiscal year of Termination and assuming
Executive’s employment had not terminated. 
 (ii)(A) Continued healthcare coverage for the 36-month period immediately
after the date of Termination, with the same coverage option as in effect immediately before the date of Termination (or substantially similar coverage option in the event such prior coverage option is eliminated or unavailable) and under the same
terms and conditions such coverage is otherwise made available to active employees of NIC after the Executive’s Termination, with such coverage being provided in lieu of any post-termination healthcare continuation coverage which the Executive
and his covered spouse and dependents would otherwise have been entitled to receive on account of said Termination under applicable federal and state law (“COBRA Coverage”); provided, that for the

  

 6 








 
first 12-month period, Executive shall pay for such coverage at no greater after tax cost to the Executive than the after tax cost to the Executive immediately prior to the date of Termination
and for the remaining 24-month period, Executive shall pay for such coverage on a monthly Cost of Coverage basis (as defined below); (B) continued life insurance coverage for the 36-month period immediately after the date of Termination, in the
same amount as in effect immediately before the date of Termination and under the same terms and conditions such coverage is otherwise made available to active employees of NIC following the Executive’s Termination; (C) the same NIC-paid
outplacement services that were then normally provided to the Executive’s then-current peers (determined as of the date immediately before the date of the Executive’s Termination) and initiated within sixty (60) days after the date of
Termination; provided, that the payment for such outplacement services shall in no event extend beyond the last day of the second taxable year of the Executive following the taxable year of the Executive in which the Termination occurred;
(D) any flexible perquisite allowance actually paid to the Executive at or before the time of Termination shall be retained by the Executive; (E) subject to applicable law, a lump sum cash payment made on the Payment Date in an amount
equal to any unused vacation; and (F) such pension and post-retirement health and life insurance benefits due to the Executive upon his Termination pursuant to and in accordance with the respective NIC-sponsored benefit plans, programs, or
policies under which they are accrued and/or provided (including grow-in rights as provided under the terms of the applicable plan, program or policy). For purposes of this Agreement, “Cost of Coverage” means the amount equal to 100% of
the “applicable premium” as defined under Section 4980B(f)(4) of the Code. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Payment Date” means within thirty (30) days immediately following the expiration of the applicable
revocation period following the execution of the Release; provided, that payment shall be made no later than 2 1/2 months following the end of the calendar year in which the Termination occurs; provided, however, that in the event a payment is administratively impracticable to
make by the end of the 2 1/2 month period, then such
payment shall be made as soon as administratively practicable in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. 
 (iii) An amount equal to a Pro Rata portion of the Executive’s Actual Annual Incentive, which payment shall be in lieu of any payment to which the Executive may otherwise have been entitled to
receive under an NIC-sponsored incentive or bonus plan (the “Pro Rata Bonus”). The Pro Rata Bonus shall be paid in lump sum as soon as feasible following the completion of the incentive calculations for the plan year; provided,
however, that no amount shall be paid with respect to an award designed to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Code until such award has been appropriately certified in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code; provided,
further, that payment shall be made no later than 2 1/2 months following the end of the calendar year in which such plan year ends. For purposes of this Agreement, “Pro Rata” means a fraction the numerator of which is the number of whole months from the beginning of the Company’s
fiscal year in which the Termination occurred through the date of Termination (including the month in which the Termination occurs if such Termination occurs on or after the 15th day of that month) and the denominator of which is equal to 12. For
purposes of this paragraph 5(a)(iii), “Actual Annual Incentive” means the annual incentive amount that would have been payable to the Executive for the Company’s fiscal year in which the Termination occurred under the applicable
NIC-sponsored annual incentive or bonus plan(s), program(s), or policy(ies), including, but not limited to, the Company’s Annual Incentive Plan, based on actual performance achieved for such fiscal year of Termination. 
  

 7 








 (b) In the event of a Termination as defined in paragraph 4(b) above, the Executive shall
receive (and the Company and NAVISTAR, INC. shall be jointly and severally obligated to provide to the Executive) the following separation payments and benefits, the receipt of which (except for payments referenced in paragraphs 5(b)(ii)(F) and
5(b)(ii)(G) below) shall be conditioned on the execution by the Executive of a written release agreement in a form acceptable to the Company and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Release”) within
forty-five (45) days following the date of Termination (and non-revocation of the Release during the applicable revocation period): 
 (i) An amount equal to (A) a Pro Rata portion of the Executive’s Target Annual Incentive, which payment shall be in lieu of any payment to which the Executive may otherwise have been entitled to
receive under an NIC-sponsored incentive or bonus plan (the “CIC Prorated Bonus”), plus (B) three-hundred percent (300%) of the sum of the Executive’s annual base salary in effect at the time of Termination and the
Executive’s Target Annual Incentive (the “CIC Severance Pay”). The CIC Severance Pay and the CIC Prorated Bonus shall be paid in a lump sum on the Payment Date. 
 (ii) (A) Continued healthcare coverage for the 36-month period immediately after the date of Termination, with the same coverage option as
in effect immediately before the date of Termination (or substantially similar coverage option in the event such prior coverage option is eliminated or unavailable) and under the same terms and conditions such coverage is otherwise made available to
active employees of NIC after the Executive’s Termination, with such coverage being provided in lieu of COBRA Coverage; provided, that for the first 12-month period, Executive shall pay for such coverage at no greater after tax cost to
the Executive than the after tax cost to the Executive immediately prior to the date of Termination and for the remaining 24-month period, Executive shall pay for such coverage on a monthly Cost of Coverage basis; (B) continued life insurance
coverage for the 36-month period immediately after the date of Termination, in the same amount as in effect immediate before the date of Termination and under the same terms and conditions such coverage is otherwise made available to active
employees of NIC after the Executive’s Termination; (C) the same NIC-paid outplacement services that were then normally provided to the Executive’s then-current peers (determined as of either the date immediately before the Change in
Control or, in the event the Change in Control does not actually occur as described in paragraph 4(d), the date immediately before the Executive’s Termination) and initiated within sixty (60) days after the date of Termination;
provided, that the payment for such outplacement services shall in no event extend beyond the last day of the second taxable year of the Executive following the taxable year of the Executive in which the Termination occurred; (D) the
same NIC-paid tax counseling and tax forms preparation services that were normally provided to the Executive’s then-current peers (determined as of either the date immediately before the Change in Control or, in the event the Change in Control
does not actually occur as described in paragraph 4(d), the date immediately before the Executive’s Termination) for all taxable years up to and including the taxable year of the Executive in which Termination occurred; provided, that
the payment for such tax counseling and tax form preparation services shall in no event extend beyond the last day of the second taxable year of the Executive following the taxable year of the Executive in which the Termination occurred;
(E) any flexible perquisite allowance actually paid to the Executive

  

 8 








 
at or before the time of Termination shall be retained by the Executive; (F) subject to applicable law, a lump sum cash payment made on the Payment Date in an amount equal to any unused
vacation; and (G) such pension and post-retirement health and life insurance benefits due to the Executive upon his Termination pursuant to and in accordance with the respective NIC-sponsored benefit plans, programs, or policies under which
they are accrued and/or provided (including grow-in rights as provided under the terms of the applicable plan, program or policy). 
 (iii) a lump sum cash amount paid on the Payment Date in an amount equal to the excess of (A) the present value of the Executive’s aggregate vested accrued benefits (if any) as of date of Termination under the NAVISTAR INC.
Managerial Retirement Objective Plan (the “MRO”) and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”), as each may be amended from time to time, including any successor plans thereto, (collectively, the “Supplemental
Plans”) in which the Executive was participating either immediately before the Change in Control, as of the date of the Executive’s Termination, determined after giving the Executive three (3) additional years of age and pension
service credit, over (B) the present value as of date of Termination of the Executive’s aggregate accrued benefits (if any) to which the Executive is or may become otherwise entitled to receive under the Supplemental Plans after giving
effect to paragraph 5(c) below (the excess shall be referred to as the “Supplemental Payment”); provided, that for purposes of this paragraph 5(b)(iii) only, the Change in Control constitutes a change in ownership or effective
control of the Company or a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company under Section 409A of the Code (a “409A Change in Control”); provided, further, that for purposes of this paragraph 5(b)(iii)
only, the Executive’s Termination under paragraph 4(b) (and excluding a Termination under paragraph 4(d)) occurs during the 24-month period immediately after the 409A Change in Control. The present values shall be determined using actuarial
assumptions and discount rates under the NAVISTAR INC. Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees, as may be amended from time to time (the “RPSE”) as in effect immediately before the Change in Control (or, in the event the Change in Control
does not actually occur as described in paragraph 4(d), as in effect as of the date of the Executive’s Termination). For the avoidance of doubt, the Supplemental Payment shall be in addition to (and not in lieu of) the accrued benefits (if any)
to which the Executive is or may become otherwise entitled to receive under the Supplemental Plans. 
 (c) With respect to the
Supplemental Plans, if a Termination of Executive’s employment occurs under paragraph 4(b) above, then (i) the Executive shall be deemed to have been terminated for reasons other than Cause (for this purpose only, as defined in the
applicable plan) having accrued at least five years of Credited Service (as defined in the applicable plan) for the purpose of Section 10 of the MRO and Section 9 of the SERP and (ii) the Executive’s account(s) will become vested
and nonforfeitable under the NAVISTAR INC. Supplemental Retirement Accumulation Plan (the “SRAP”); provided, that for purposes of this paragraph 5(c)(i) and (ii) only, the Change in Control constitutes a 409A Change in Control;
provided, further, that for purposes of this paragraph 5(c)(i) and (ii) only, that for purposes of this paragraph 5(b)(iii) only, the Executive’s Termination under paragraph 4(b) (and excluding a Termination under paragraph 4(d))
occurs during the 24-month period immediately after the 409A Change in Control. For the avoidance of doubt, accrued benefits (if any) to which the Executive is or may become otherwise entitled to receive under the Supplemental Plans and the SRAP
shall be in addition to (and not in lieu of) the Supplemental Payment.

 (d) The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with
Section 409A of the Code, to the extent subject thereto, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, an Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of any payments under this Agreement which are subject to Section 409A of the Code until the Executive would be considered to have
incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for
purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and any payments described in this Agreement that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless
applicable law requires otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code,
amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following an Executive’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first
business day after the date that is six months following the Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the Executive’s date of death), with an appropriate adjustment for interest for delayed payment (computed in a manner
consistent with computing interest adjustments for delayed pension payments under the RPSE). To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, amounts reimbursable to the Executive under this
Agreement shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits provided to the Executive) during any one
year may not effect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year. NIC makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no
undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to any such payment.

 (f) In the event any separation payment remains due or owed to the Executive under this Agreement as of the date of the Executive’s
death, such separation payment shall be paid to the Executive’s estate. Further, except as otherwise required under the terms of this Agreement or under applicable law, any separation benefit due or owed to the Executive under this Agreement
shall cease upon the date of the Executive’s death; provided, that any death benefit due or owed to the Executive’s designated beneficiary(ies) under this Agreement as of the date of the Executive’s death shall be governed by

 6. Limitation on Payments. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the
Executive (including any payment or benefit received in connection with a Change in Control or the termination of the Executive’s employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such
payments and benefits, including the payments and benefits under paragraph 5 of this Agreement, being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”) would be subject (in whole or part), to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999
of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in such other plan, arrangement or agreement, the cash severance payments shall first
be reduced, and the noncash severance payments shall thereafter be reduced, to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax but only if (i) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and
after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments) is
greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which the Executive
would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Payments). The Total Payments shall be reduced by the
Company in its reasonable discretion in the following order: (A) reduction of any cash payment, excluding any cash payment with respect to the acceleration of equity awards, that is otherwise payable to the Executive that is exempt from
Section 409A of the Code, (B) reduction of any other payments or benefits otherwise payable to the Executive on a pro-rata basis or such other manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code and (C) reduction of any payment
with respect to the acceleration of equity awards that is otherwise payable to the Executive that is exempt from Section 409A of the Code. 
 (b) For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax, (i) no portion of the Total Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which the
Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code shall be taken into account, (ii) no portion of the Total Payments shall be taken into
account which, in the written opinion of independent auditors of nationally recognized standing (“Independent Advisors”) selected by the Company, does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of
Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of Section 280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of Independent Advisors,
constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the Base Amount (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable
compensation, and (iii) the value of any non cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments shall be determined by the Independent Advisors in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of
the Code.

Cooperation. 
 In consideration of the amounts which may become payable pursuant to paragraph 5 of this Agreement, the
Executive agrees to be bound by the covenants of this paragraph 7. The Executive acknowledges that the covenants contained within this paragraph 7 are essential elements of this Agreement, and that, but for the agreement of the Executive to comply

restriction shall not limit the Executive’s ability to provide truthful testimony as required by law or any judicial or administrative process; 
 (c) at all times during the Agreement Period and for a period of twenty-four (24) months immediately following termination of employment for any reason, not, directly or indirectly (whether as owner,

publicly-held company so long as such ownership is passive in nature; 
 (d) at all times during the Agreement Period and for a
period of twenty-four (24) months immediately following a termination of employment for any reason, refrain, without the written consent of the Company or NAVISTAR, INC., from, directly or indirectly, (i) recruiting or soliciting any

of NIC to leave its employ or cease his relationship with NIC, (iii) hiring any person who is then an employee, consultant, contractor, agent, or representative of NIC for any entity other than NIC, or providing names or other information about

contractual or otherwise, between NIC and any of its Customers, prospects, suppliers, employees, consultants, contractors, agents, or representatives; and 
 (e) at all times during the Agreement Period and for a period of twenty-four (24) months immediately following termination of employment for any reason, cooperate with and provide assistance to NIC
at any time and in any manner reasonably required by NIC or its respective counsel in connection with any litigation or other legal process affecting NIC, or in answering questions concerning any other matter, in which the Executive was involved or
had knowledge of during the course of his employment (other than any dispute between the Parties concerning this Agreement); provided, (i) the Company and NAVISTAR, INC. shall have provided the Executive with advance written notice of
the request to cooperate and/or assist, (ii) the Company and NAVISTAR, INC. shall reimburse the Executive’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and such other expenses in connection with said cooperation and assistance promptly after
the Executive submits a written request therefor together with copies of the invoices substantiating such expenses, but in no event shall payment of any such fees, costs, and expenses be made after the last day of the Executive’s taxable year
following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred; provided, that prior to reimbursement the Executive first delivers a written undertaking to the Company and NAVISTAR, INC. to repay all such attorneys’ fees and costs and
expenses paid to the

  

 13 








 
Executive prior to the final disposition of the litigation or other legal process affecting NIC if it ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to
appeal that the Executive is not entitled to reimbursement of such attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses, and (iii) that after the termination of employment for any reason, such cooperation and assistance shall not require the Executive
to forgo or significantly interrupt any professional or personal commitment that he reasonably deems significant or to take any action that, in his reasonable judgment, could impair his ability to perform the responsibilities of or could jeopardize
the continuation of his then current employment or self-employment. 
 The Executive acknowledges and agrees that NIC’s
businesses is intensively competitive, Executive’s employment required Executive to have access to and knowledge of NIC’s confidential information and trade secrets, the Customers have required a significant degree of difficulty, number of
years, an amount of money by NIC to acquire and develop, Executive has had significant personal contact with and knowledge of the Customers, and the duration of the Customer’s association with NIC and the continuity of the Customer-NIC
relationships are of the utmost importance to the success of NIC’s business. The Executive also acknowledges and agrees that the business of NIC is conducted nationally and internationally and agrees that the provisions in the foregoing
sentence will operate throughout the United States of America or its territories, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, United Kingdom, Germany, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, India and the People’s Republic of China, and any other country in which NIC
conducts business at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment with NIC. The Executives further acknowledges and agrees that the Executive holds a senior management role at NIC and that, if the Executive were to hold a management
position with a competitor of NIC, the Executive would be able to exploit unfairly Confidential Information and/or Customer-NIC relationships. Accordingly, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing covenants set forth in this
paragraph 7 are reasonable, including without limitation, as to scope, activity, subject, geography and duration, and that irreparable injury will result to NIC in the event of any violation by the Executive of these covenants, and that said
covenants are a condition precedent to the Company’s and NAVISTAR, INC.’s willingness to enter into this Agreement and pay the consideration set forth in this Agreement. In the event that any of the foregoing covenants are violated, the
Company and NAVISTAR, INC. shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies and damages available under law, equity, or otherwise, to recoup, offset, suspend, or terminate any or all separation payments and benefits previously paid or otherwise
subsequently owed to the Executive under this Agreement, to injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction to restrain the violation of such covenants, and/or to prevent any threatened violation by the Executive, and/or by any person or
persons acting for, or in concert with, the Executive in any capacity whatsoever, without posting a bond or other security. In addition, if such a court deems that any of the foregoing covenants are unreasonable, the Parties agree that the maximum
permissible period and scope prescribed by such court shall be substituted for the stated period and scope.

INC. shall be entitled to recover from, or to apply an offset against, any payment or benefit due or provided under this Agreement in order to recover any amount for which the Executive may be liable or for any other reason (other than any amount
